Re: shimmed valve springs for better rpm?
Springs are often shimmed up to get more seat pressure. It will decrease your room to coil bind. Just have a local cylinder head shop check the spring pressure at that installed height and tell you what it is. Then come back with that info and someone will be able to tell you if you have enough spring for what you are trying to do. List your cam size, engine rpm, and boost pressure also.
